		<h2>Importing Data into BinNavi</h2>
		<p>Out of the box there is one way to get data from 
		external disassemblers into a BinNavi database. This way is 
		to use IDA Pro in combination with our IDA exporter plugin. 
		This section assumes that all required software that is mentioned in the
		<a href="installation.htm">Installation section</a> of this manual was 
		installed and configured according to the guidelines.</p>
		<h3>Importing data from IDA Pro</h3>
		<p>To import data from IDA Pro it is not even necessary to open IDA Pro. 
		If you have already created the IDA database (IDB) file you want to import, you can simply right-click on a Database node or a 
		Module node in 
		the Project Tree in the BinNavi main window. In the context menu that 
		pops up, click <span class="gui_ref">Import IDB File</span> and select the appropriate IDB file in 
		the file selection dialog that is shown. Once selected, BinNavi begins 
		to import the IDB file to the database. If your version of IDA Pro was 
		not installed to the default IDA Pro directory, BinNavi will ask you for 
		the location of your IDA Pro executable before.</p>
		<p>Note that it is not possible to import IDB files which are currently 
		open in IDA. Please make sure to close all instances of IDA which are 
		currently working with the IDB file before starting the import process.</p>
		<p class="style1">
		<img alt="" src="../images/importer_window.png" width="655" /></p>
		<p class="style2">
		The importer window offers several other options. For example, you can 
		select a directory from a list of directories from which you previously 
		exported IDB files. This helps you quickly navigate between your IDB 
		directories. On the right side of the window you can select multiple IDB 
		files for batch imports.</p>
		<p class="style3">
		If you are importing data on Windows Vista or Windows 7 you can run into 
		problems with the virtual store. When you create an IDB file in a 
		directory you are not allowed to write to, Windows places the IDB file 
		in the virtual store of that directory. In Windows Explorer and other 
		programs this is completely transparent. In the Java file selection 
		dialog, the virtual store is not considered though. If you can not 
		select your IDB file in the BinNavi file selection dialog, copy the IDB 
		file from the virtual store to a directory you have real write-access to 
		and import the data from there.</p>
